-Mess!-
I don't know how long it was 'til I awoke, but it was dark and quiet. I slowly got up, but fell again. I almost cried out, instead I bit my lip until it started bleeding, with tears streaming down my face. This time I got up more carefully. I've made it to the kitchen and saw at least twenty empty beer bottles, I kept going. In the living room I could hear his snores; he left the master bedrooms door open. I'll have to stay even quieter; I was finally at the stairs. Now, how do I get up there? I ended up scooting up the stairs backwards, it took a long time, but I finally got up there. Now where is Mark?
I limped to father's study, it was locked, but I know he had to be in there. Still I went and checked the other rooms upstairs. Empty. I went further into our room, after checking, to find one of my bobby-pins so I could pick the lock, it took a minuet but I found it! I wobbled back to the study and jimmied the lock open; the sight that met my eyes surprised me.
Mark was bloody and beat up yes, but nothing visible looked to be broken as I had expected… what on earth? I quickly limped over to him. "Mark? Mark! Come on wake up!" I shook him and after a few minutes he opened his eyes. "Anna? Oh, I'm so sorry! He knows… you said it. The reason he took me was for emotional damage." He paused looking me over; "Anna, you're bleeding…" he looked a little more, "Looks like we're going to use a lot of bandages…"
"It'll be okay Mark; we'll get thru this together. I love you." I was getting loopy from all the pain, he could tell.
Mark nodded, "I love you too. Now I'm going to carry you to your bed, then go and find some material to clean you up with. Okay, here we go," I winced as he pick me up, I was hurt a lot more than I first noticed. He laid me down, and went to gather material to clean me up. I tried to stay awake, but that battle was quickly lost.
